Marking Network Traffic

Marking network traffic allows you to set or modify the attributes for traffic (that is, packets) belonging to a specific class or category. When used in conjunction with network traffic classification, marking network traffic is the foundation for enabling many quality of service (QoS) features on your network. This module contains conceptual information and the configuration tasks for marking network traffic.

Traffic Classification Compared with Traffic Marking

Purpose of Marking Network Traffic

Traffic marking is a method used to identify certain traffic types for unique handling, effectively partitioning network traffic into different categories.

After the network traffic is organized into classes by traffic classification, traffic marking allows you to mark (that is, set or change) a value (attribute) for the traffic belonging to a specific class. For instance, you may want to change the class of service (CoS) value from 2 to 1 in one class, or you may want to change the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value from 3 to 2 in another class. In this module, these values are referred to as attributes.

Attributes that can be set and modified include the following:

Cell loss priority (CLP) bit
CoS value of an outgoing packet
Discard-class value
Discard eligible (DE) bit setting in the address field of a Frame Relay frame
DSCP value in the type of service (ToS) byte
MPLS EXP field value in the topmost label on an input or output interface
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) field on all imposed label entries
Precedence value in the packet header
QoS group identifier (ID)
ToS bits in the header of an IP packet

Benefits of Marking Network Traffic

Improved Network Performance

Traffic marking allows you to fine-tune the attributes for traffic on your network. This increased granularity helps single out traffic that requires special handling and, thus, helps to achieve optimal application performance.

Traffic marking allows you to determine how traffic will be treated, based on how the attributes for the network traffic are set. It allows you to segment network traffic into multiple priority levels or classes of service based on those attributes, as follows:

Traffic marking is often used to set the IP precedence or IP DSCP values for traffic entering a network. Networking devices within your network can then use the newly marked IP precedence values to determine how traffic should be treated. For example, voice traffic can be marked with a particular IP precedence or DSCP, and a queueing mechanism can then be configured to put all packets of that mark into a priority queue.
Traffic marking can be used to identify traffic for any class-based QoS feature (any feature available in policy-map class configuration mode, although some restrictions exist).
Traffic marking can be used to assign traffic to a QoS group within a device. The device can use the QoS groups to determine how to prioritize traffic for transmission. The QoS group value is usually used for one of the two following reasons:
- To leverage a large range of traffic classes. The QoS group value has 100 different individual markings, as opposed to DSCP and IP precedence, which have 64 and 8, respectively.
- If changing the IP precedence or DSCP value is undesirable.
If a packet (for instance, in a traffic flow) that needs to be marked to differentiate user-defined QoS services is leaving a device and entering a switch, the device can set the CoS value of the traffic, because the switch can process the Layer 2 CoS header marking. Alternatively, the Layer 2 CoS value of the traffic leaving a switch can be mapped to the Layer 3 IP or MPLS value.

Two Methods for Marking Traffic Attributes

There are two methods for specifying and marking traffic attributes:

You can specify and mark the traffic attribute by using a set command.

With this method, you configure individual set commands for the traffic attribute that you want to mark.

You can specify and mark the traffic attribute by creating a mapping table (called a "table map").

With this method, you configure the traffic attributes that you want to mark once in a table map and then the markings can be propagated throughout the network.

These methods are further described in the sections that follow.

Method One Using a set Command
Method Two Using a Table Map
Traffic Marking Procedure Flowchart

Method One Using a set Command

You specify the traffic attribute that you want to change with a setcommand configured in a policy map. The table below lists the available setcommands and the corresponding attribute. The table also includes the network layer and the network protocol typically associated with the traffic attribute.

Table 1 set Commands and Corresponding Traffic Attribute, Network Layer, and Protocol
set Commands¹	Traffic Attribute	Network Layer	Protocol
set atm-clp	CLP bit	Layer 2	ATM
set cos	Layer 2 CoS value of the outgoing traffic	Layer 2	ATM, Frame Relay
set discard-class	discard-class value	Layer 2	ATM, Frame Relay
set dscp	DSCP value in the ToS byte	Layer 3	IP
set fr-de	DE bit setting in the address field of a Frame Relay frame	Layer 2	Frame Relay
set ip tos (route-map)	ToS bits in the header of an IP packet	Layer 3	IP
set mpls experimental imposition	MPLS EXP field on all imposed label entries	Layer 3	MPLS
set mpls experimental topmost	MPLS EXP field value in the topmost label on either an input or an output interface	Layer 3	MPLS
set precedence	Precedence value in the packet header	Layer 3	IP
set qos-group	QoS group ID	Layer 3	IP, MPLS

¹ Cisco set commands can vary by release. For more information, see the command documentation for the Cisco release that you are using

If you are using individual set commands, those set commands are specified in a policy map. The following is a sample policy map configured with one of the set commands listed in the table above. In this sample configuration, the set atm-clpcommand has been configured in the policy map (policy1) to mark the CLP attribute.

 policy-map policy1
  class class1
   set atm-clp
   end

Method Two Using a Table Map

You can create a table map that can be used to mark traffic attributes. A table map is a kind of two-way conversion chart that lists and maps one traffic attribute to another. A table map supports a many-to-one type of conversion and mapping scheme. The table map establishes a to-from relationship for the traffic attributes and defines the change to be made to the attribute. That is, an attribute is set to one value that is taken from another value. The values are based on the specific attribute being changed. For instance, the Precedence attribute can be a number from 0 to 7, while the DSCP attribute can be a number from 0 to 63.

The following is a sample table map configuration:

table-map table-map1
map from 0 to 1
map from 2 to 3
exit

The table below lists the traffic attributes for which a to-from relationship can be established using the table map.

Table 2 Traffic Attributes for Which a To-From Relationship Can Be Established
The "To" Attribute	The "From" Attribute
Precedence	CoS
Precedence	QoS group
DSCP	CoS
DSCP	QoS group
CoS	Precedence
CoS	DSCP
QoS group	Precedence
	DSCP
	MPLS EXP topmost
MPLS EXP topmost	QoS group
MPLS EXP imposition	Precedence
MPLS EXP imposition	DSCP

Once the table map is created, you configure a policy map to use the table map. In the policy map, you specify the table map name and the attributes to be mapped by using the table keyword and the table-map-name argument with one of the commands listed in the table below.

Table 3 Commands Used in Policy Maps to Map Attributes
Command Used in Policy Maps	Maps These Attributes
set cos dscp table table-map-name	CoS to DSCP
set cos precedence table table-map-name	CoS to Precedence
set dscp cos table table-map-name	DSCP to CoS
set dscp qos-group table table-map-name	DSCP to qos-group
set mpls experimental imposition dscp table table-map-name	MPLS EXP imposition to DSCP
set mpls experimental imposition precedence table table-map-name	MPLS EXP imposition to precedence
set mpls experimental topmost qos-group table table-map-name	MPLS EXP topmost to QoS-group
set precedence cos table table-map-name	Precedence to CoS
set precedence qos-group table table-map-name	Precedence to QoS-group
set qos-group dscp table table-map-name	QoS-group to DSCP
set qos-group mpls exp topmost table table-map-name	QoS-group to MPLS EXP topmost
set qos-group precedence table table-map-name	QoS-group to Precedence

The following is an example of a policy map (policy2) configured to use the table map (table-map1) created earlier:

policy map policy2
class class-default
set cos dscp table table-map1
exit

In this example, a mapping relationship was created between the CoS attribute and the DSCP attribute as defined in the table map.

Traffic Marking Procedure Flowchart

The figure below illustrates the order of the procedures for configuring traffic marking.

Figure 1. Traffic Marking Procedure Flowchart

Method for Marking Traffic Attributes

You specify and mark the traffic attribute that you want to change by using a set command configured in a policy map.

With this method, you configure individual set commands for the traffic attribute that you want to mark.

Using a set Command

Using a set Command

The table below lists the available set commands and the corresponding attribute. The table below also includes the network layer and the network protocol typically associated with the traffic attribute.

Table 4 set Commands and Corresponding Traffic Attribute, Network Layer, and Protocol
set Commands²	Traffic Attribute	Network Layer	Protocol
set cos	Layer 2 CoS value of the outgoing traffic	Layer 2	ATM, Frame Relay
set discard-class	discard-class value	Layer 2	ATM, Frame Relay
set dscp	DSCP value in the ToS byte	Layer 3	IP
set fr-de	DE bit setting in the address field of a Frame Relay frame	Layer 2	Frame Relay
set ip tos (route-map)	ToS bits in the header of an IP packet	Layer 3	IP
set mpls experimental imposition	MPLS EXP field on all imposed label entries	Layer 3	MPLS
set mpls experimental topmost	MPLS EXP field value in the topmost label on an input or output interface	Layer 3	MPLS
set precedence	Precedence value in the packet header	Layer 3	IP
set qos-group	QoS group ID	Layer 3	IP, MPLS

² Cisco set commands can vary by release. For more information, see the command documentation.

If you are using individual set commands, those set commands are specified in a policy map. The following is a sample policy map configured with one of the set commands listed in the table above. In this sample configuration, the set cos command has been configured in the policy map (policy1) to mark the CoS value.

 policy-map policy1
  class class1
   set cos 1
   end

For information on configuring a policy map, see the “Creating a Policy Map for Applying a QoS Feature to Network Traffic” section.

The final task is to attach the policy map to the interface. For information on attaching the policy map to the interface, see the “Attaching the Policy Map to an Interface” section.

MQC and Network Traffic Marking

To configure network traffic marking, you use the Modular QoS CLI (MQC).

The MQC is a CLI structure that allows you to complete the following tasks:

Specify the matching criteria used to define a traffic class.
Create a traffic policy (policy map). The traffic policy defines the QoS policy actions to be taken for each traffic class.
Apply the policy actions specified in the policy map to an interface, subinterface, or ATM PVC by using the service-policy command.

Traffic Classification Compared with Traffic Marking

Traffic classification and traffic marking are closely related and can be used together. Traffic marking can be viewed as an additional action, specified in a policy map, to be taken on a traffic class.

Traffic classification allows you to organize into traffic classes on the basis of whether the traffic matches specific criteria. For example, all traffic with a CoS value of 2 is grouped into one class, and traffic with a DSCP value of 3 is grouped into another class. The match criteria are user-defined.

After the traffic is organized into traffic classes, traffic marking allows you to mark (that is, set or change) an attribute for the traffic belonging to that specific class. For instance, you may want to change the CoS value from 2 to 1, or you may want to change the DSCP value from 3 to 2.

The match criteria used by traffic classification are specified by configuring a match command in a class map. The marking action taken by traffic marking is specified by configuring a set command in a policy map. These class maps and policy maps are configured using the MQC.

The table below compares the features of traffic classification and traffic marking.

Table 5 Traffic Classification Compared with Traffic Marking
Feature	Traffic Classification	Traffic Marking
Goal	Groups network traffic into specific traffic classes on the basis of whether the traffic matches the user-defined criterion.	After the network traffic is grouped into traffic classes, modifies the attributes for the traffic in a particular traffic class.
Configuration Mechanism	Uses class maps and policy maps in the MQC.	Uses class maps and policy maps in the MQC.
CLI	In a class map, uses match commands (for example, match cos) to define the traffic matching criteria.	Uses the traffic classes and matching criteria specified by traffic classification. In addition, uses set commands (for example, set cos) in a policy map to modify the attributes for the network traffic.

Creating a Policy Map for Applying a QoS Feature to Network Traffic

Before You Begin

The following restrictions apply to creating a QoS policy map:

Before modifying the encapsulation type from IEEE 802.1 Q to ISL, or vice versa, on a subinterface, detach the policy map from the subinterface. After changing the encapsulation type, reattach the policy map.
A policy map containing the set qos-group command can only be attached as an input traffic policy. QoS group values are not usable for traffic leaving a device.
A policy map containing the set cos command can only be attached as an output traffic policy.

Example Creating a Policy Map for Applying a QoS Feature to Network Traffic

The following is an example of creating a policy map to be used for traffic classification. In this example, a policy map called policy1 has been created, and the bandwidth command has been configured for class1. The bandwidth command configures the QoS feature CBWFQ.

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# policy-map policy1
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 50 
Router(config-pmap-c)# end
Router# 
show policy-map policy1 class class1
Router# exit

Note

This example uses the bandwidth command. The bandwidth command configures the QoS feature class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ). CBWFQ is just an example of a QoS feature that can be configured. Use the appropriate command for the QoS feature that you want to use.

Example: Attaching the Policy Map to an Interface

The following is an example of attaching the policy map to the interface. In this example, the policy map called policy1 has been attached in the input direction to the serial interface 4/0/0.

Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface serial4/0/0
Device(config-if)# service-policy input policy1 
Device(config-if)# end
